Why is prostitution still prevalent across the world in modern society? One would think that prostitution, seeming to be morally wrong and unethical (at least to me) would have dyed out by now, but “Many married men sought prostitutes as a sexual outlet, in part because (1) they have been socialized to believe their sexual appetites were uncontrollable and (2) their wives had been socialized not to enjoy sex.”(Heiner, 84). The physical sensations of having sexual relations with a complete stranger whom you share no emotional connections with, or in the prostitutes case the money, is not worth the loss of dignity and feelings of worthlessness that oneself may experience afterwords. The cause of prostitution goes back to media, the educational systems and parents. People need to be taught to value and respect themselves and others, that they can control themselves, and that sex is something to be enjoyed - with someone you love. These are basic concepts that could easily be integrated into our educational system if people allowed it.


The United States of America is lacking in accommodations for the working parent. Most of the other financially well off countries have many more accommodations than we do, including childcare and payed leave of absence for mothers and fathers. These accommodations are enforced by the government in many country. There are many reason why the United States should pass such laws such as “these work/family measures are provided alongside universal health insurance, which adds crucial economic support for families, and gives workers flexibility when seeking employment that best meets their families’ needs”(Eitzen, 102). Many people in our country would benefit greatly if this system was put in place here. The main reason that it isn’t is because Americans are so against socialism, and putting in such laws place could be seen as a set towards a socialistic society.
